AFI FEST 2009 highlights on Thursday, Nov. 5:

Robert Barry Ptolemy&#8217;s Transcendent Man sounds fascinating: Futurist Ray Kurzweil discusses the just-around-the-corner impact of human technology, which has been growing exponentially. Imagine a world without death, hunger, disease. (Well, I&#8217;m assuming all those great things will happen if humans don&#8217;t self-destruct first. After all, all lab studies indicate that human imbecility is growing even faster than the species&#8217; technological advances &#8212; talk about a scientific paradox; someone should come up with a documentary about that.)
Directed by Tom Ford, A Single Man stars Venice 2009 winner Colin Firth, who&#8217;ll quite likely receive an Oscar nod come [...]]]></description>

Best Screenplay
Any of those listed for best film, in addition to:
Marco Bellocchio&#8217;s Vincere (co-written by Bellocchio and Daniela Ceselli), about how Benito Mussolini mistreated his first wife (Giovanna Mezzogiorno, top photo) and son while millions of Italians thought he was just the greatest guy around.
Ken Loach&#8217;s Looking for Eric (written by Paul Laverty), about a postman who gets soccer player Eric Cantona (middle photo) to become his life coach.
Writer-director Xavier Giannoli&#8217;s In the Beginning (bottom photo), in which a con man gets a small town to build a highway.

Derek Elley on Looking for Eric (above, Ken Loach and Eric Cantona) in Variety:
&#34;&#8230; helmer Ken Loach and writer Paul Laverty&#8217;s ninth feature together is  a curious hybrid: Three movies &#8212; boilerplate, socially aware Loach;  personal fantasy; romantic comedy &#8212; wrap around a central core of a  hopeless soccer fanatic who&#8217;s given a second chance to sort out his  life.
